[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] A foster father who abused a two-year-old adopted child, leaving her in an unconscious state, was urgently arrested by the police.

On the 9th, the Women and Youth Investigation Unit of the Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency announced that they had urgently arrested a man in his 30s, Mr. A, at 12:09 a.m. on charges of serious injury under the Special Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse Crimes.

The adopted child, B (2 years old, female), whom Mr. A and his wife in their 30s had adopted, was transferred to a nearby hospital in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, Mr. A’s residence, in an unconscious state around 6 p.m. the previous day.

The hospital, judging B’s condition to be severe, transferred her to a large hospital in Incheon. Medical staff who examined B found bruises on various parts of her body, including her face, along with a cerebral hemorrhage, and reported suspected abuse to the police.

The police determined that B had been abused and fallen into an unconscious state. They urgently arrested Mr. A, who brought B to the hospital, and are investigating whether abuse occurred and the circumstances surrounding it.

It was investigated that Mr. A and his wife adopted B through an adoption agency in August of last year.

B is currently recovering after brain surgery but has not yet regained consciousness.
